TUESDAY, DEC. 18, . • Donor ROBERT DARLING WILLI,S called in, one , . exanl.ined; Whether you can state to this Committee, arty particular cause t o which you ascribe his s Majesty's present indisposition ?—I presume the.extrenie dis tress for the illness of the Princess Amelia, Whethet,any chatnge has. taken place in his Ma jesty's indisposition SitSee..Your, last examination be fore the Privy Council can hardly state that .any material alteration lots taken place. It is ,ext'seirses ly difficult in cases of, this. description to measure ac curately the degrees of eine/Omens. , Has Dr. Willis attended his Majesty in former attacks of this disorder ?—I attended his Msjesty itr the year 1801. , In case of a cessation of the disorder, Av,ould, great interruptions, or such as would s PrOdbly seise in the t exercise of his high station, be,lia.ely to produce a return cif the disorder ? I have ,Ira reason to r hiek that it would, provided Abe recovery is 'complete. Relapses hay 4 not been prodsteect atter former illnesses in his Majesty,'s complaints. When Dr. Willis agrees with the other Physicians who have been examined, in assigning the imme tliateoccasion of his Majesty's present illness, does he mean to assign it as the primitive cause of the complaint, or only as having brought into adion,a disease to.which his. Majesty has been before sub jeal ?—Certainly, as bringing into.a6tion.a disease to ,which his Majesty has beep before subject. . When Dr. Willis expresses his confident ex peetation of his Majesty's recovery, d oes ineaq his final recovery, without the probability of a, re currence of the same i t spisp os i t i on ? Certainly, not. Should his Majesty reenter so as to fulfil all the expectations which Dr. Willis rneans„ to express, is it in his opinion more or less piobable that his Msjesty Wbuld be subject to similar indispositions ? —His Msjesry -having already laboured . under four attacks, it is More . 'piubable he will continue liable to repeated attacks.. His Majesty's illness having been immediately preceded by and constantly accompanied with fever, arising front extraordinary susceptibility and nervous irriistiun, is not such a eomPlaintmore likely to be re-produced liorn external circumstances and causes than any other indisposition of the same class ?—lt is, perhaps, a -medical question of very little moment, whether his Majesty's complaint is attended with fever dr not. In My opinion there is no fever pre sents the, whole depending upon an extreme jails 6ility but I am not awa r e th a t hi s M a j est y w ill b e nitre suisjeCt to a relapse on that account, tb L a i n he would 'be, if it aros-strom any cause in the constitu tion itself ; it appears always to r equ i re some exter nal cat:a:lQ excite it. Whether, when the complaint is accompanied with that'extreme nervous irritability described by Dr. Willis, Ts it not more sebjett to be ailed upon and, iocreaseil Th.v external circumstances and•causes than a similar 'Complaint not, so accompanied i--1 am not await': 'of any similar complaint that can - take place without '6eing accompanied with a siteilar ,net vous irritebnity, How many relapse's - have taken place in his Ma jesty's present disorder since his Majesty was taken' di in Weber last ?—There have been two relapses. State, the periods of those relapses ?—The Isth. of November, and the sth 'of December, wete the periods at which a considerable degree of increase of the synsptonis took place s 'which have been de nominated relapses. Dr. 'Willis has stated, that his Majesty's disorder arose from extreme dtstress for the illness of the Princess Amelia, the ComMittee wish to know if Dr.'Willis considers these relapse's to have arisen .do the ordinary course of the disorder, or whether any extraneous causes have contributed to occasion those relapses ?—ln that extreme state of nervous irrita.bility very trilling csuses are sufficient to pro duce an occasional increase of symptoms till the re covery has advanced beyond a certain period ; it - may be difficult to say, theietbre, whether this in crease of symptoms may have arisen in the ordinary course of the disorder, or from trifling circumstances which may have produced them. Did not the first relapse occur about the period of the Princess Amelia's funeral ?—On the:follow ing day, or the day after that When Dr. Willis speaks of relapies, does he mean relapses after a cessation of the disorder, or alter a remission of the disorder _?—Certainty after a semis :.lion ; his Majesty's disorder has never ceased. Were these not exacerbations of his Majesty's order on the 15th of November, and the eth of Decemoer ?—Certainly, on the evening of both those days. Does Dr. Willis consider the exacerbations, which took place on each of those days; to have been re lapses properly so called, or as such paroxysms as commonly occur in a disorder of this description ? I consider them merely as paroxysms' which belong to the disorder itself. Are, or are no., the remissions of his Majesty's disorder impeded, and the paroxysms renewed or increased, by his consideration of and telleetioo on his own case, under all its circumstances am not aware of any particular erred that leas taken place from such considerations. • Whether in the course of Dr. Willis's experience in disordets of this kind, lie has had occasion to ob serve that the age of the patient is a consideration of weight in forming expectations of recovery ? Where the traces of age can 'be discovered in the symptoms of the disorder, it is et-swiftly a matter of great consideration, but in his Majesty's situation have nut discovered any traces of age in the symp toms ; I therefore inlet that his Majesty's age is not 2 matter of moment. On a comparisoq of the symptoMs of his M desty's present disorder with those of his disorder in the year 1801,' is Dr. Willis of opinion that the pa roxysms of the present case are snore or less severe either in degree or duration than those of the for- • mer ?—The paroxysms in this disorder have been more frequent but not more severe than in 1801, nor of longer duration. Have the remissions in the - present disorder been of longer or shorter duration than those of the dis , order in Mi. ?—Hitherto they have been shorter. , Wh .. 4ber the retn4sions have teen rabre or less 'coniptuke,in Ilk, Majesty's: present disorder than ;n 1 so i think . leSs complete. Wn-villcr the . disorder, under which hia.Majesty now labour:, is of the same -class as that in 1801 ? It is of .;the same class. . Witethrr hum the tads which Dr. Willis has col lemed from the Physicians, and other.= radical tendarion his Maje.sty„,:tte d• erns this disorder to be . of the same cla,sas • his:Majesty's other attacks, which, ))r. Willis did not attend his Majesty I believe all his Majesty's attacks have been How far in these disorders .the experience of for mer .4taCks, in the caNe of the same patient, aflbrds an indication A./ the. probable time ofthe cure, :sup posing that a cure shall, be ultimately etteEted ?—lt becomes prk,bable, when;. the Nyalptunli of. one at tack resetutije the symptoms of. a preceding, one, that the progress. to atnendinen I. will bz.: similar also. Whether the progresS toward; recovery bas hi theito,,been,the sante in tills ;is in lot ruer attacks ? It has rather been. more prolonged titan in 190 i, bat it is further advanced than in the first attack in _1789 I .catinpi.speak as to the attack in 1804. Wbether; referring to, his answer giten to a for mer tpie,tion, Pr. Willis can state what degree•of protraction in .recavry, would be sufficient to dimi nish his expectation of ultimate recovery ?—My ppinion. would be rather guided by the symptoms t.which should attend that protrattiun, than the pro trattion itself. , NVhether the approaches towards recovery are more likely to manifest themselves by a gradual di minution of the paroxysms, and increase of the re- MiSSiOIIS,, or by a, suddrn of total cesolion of the complaint ?—Probably, by. the gradual diminution of .the paroxysms, and the lengthening of the ie• _ )., At what time did Dr. Willis first see his Majesty tilis„disordrr ?•.- 7 0n the,6th Novettibet.. %Vas .ihat, in a period of paroxysm Or_Of iemis- Qiat► ?—ln a period ot complete delirium, under the firs( paroxysm that Iwci taken place. , Was that paroxysm severe?—Extremely severe; his Majesty's ,We was in great peril. Hare the two succeeding paroxysms been less se- vete ?—Considerably less. How tar in the instances with which Dr. Wi:lis is acquainted of person's suffering under repealed at tacks of this disorder, the frequency of such attacks has increased or diminished, as the patient had ad vanced in age.?—l cannot answer as to the tie quency. . How far has the violence of the attacks increased or dithinished under the circumstance stated in the former question ?—The violence has increased. Is it in Dr. Willis's opinibp, a circurustatice fa vourable, or otherwise, to the probability of his Majesty's recovery, that thew should have been such an assignab:e cause for his Majesty's disorder, as that which he has stated l; certainly a very tavoutable circumstance. In such a disorder as that with whiCh hil.Majesty is affetted, are there not usual.) , certain gradations or stages tending to a hhpeless state on the one hand, and to a recovery on the - other ?—Certainly. Is the stage at which his Majesty's disorder has arrived, one that warrants the expectation of pro gressive amendment certainly warrants the ex pectation of progressive .amendment ; because it is the stage through which each of his Majesty's*dis orders has passed. Accoiding to the usual gradations of disorders of this description, is it or is it not the opinion of Dr. Willis, that the next material advance towards reco very would be a state of Convalescen..e, or a state nearly approaching to it ?--Probably a state neatly approaching to convaleScence. Upon comparing the present stage of: his Majes ty's illness with its corresponding stage in 1801, does Dr. Willis, or does he not, entertain an equally favourable expectation of his Majesty's recoVely ?, Comparing the two stages together, I hare no rea son to hate a less favourable opinion than I had in 1801. ,Upon making. the same comparison, does Dr. Willis entertain an expectation of his Majesty's re covery from his present illness within the samepe liod of time as , in 180 t ?—Perhaps not exactly. The present stage is inore remote from the com mencement t h an the similar stage which took place in 1801. fitter what period of time, supposing no material abatement of his Majesty's disorder shall have taken Place, would Dr. Willis cease to entertain confident ,hopes of his Majesty's recovery ?-1 must still think that my opinion would be inure guided by the symptoms that were then present than by the period of time. Dr. Willis is desired to answer the question, sup posing the symptoms continued nearly as at pre sent should certainly begin to hate d very un favousaole opinion of his Majesty's recotety, if the usual period _at which recovery has faken place in the, former attacks had passed by. What do you conceive to have been the usual period, dating from the commencement of the coMplairK?—The periods have differed ; in 1788-9, it was nearly six months; the other periods were shorter; hate spoken of the longest. To what class of disorder is his Majesty's present indisposition referable ?—According to an arrange trent in my own mind, I should consider it as a derangement of mind closely allied to dehriuM, and occasionally falling into it. Dors the speeies of 'disorder which Dr. Willis has just described differ from what is usually term., ed insanity :—=These is a wide difference betwixt them. Wi`ll you describe generally in what that differ ence consists i—lt consists pliticipally in the dif ierent sate of the: mind, and the different state of the constitution also. In delirium, the mind it ac tively' occupied upon past imptessions, without any reference to present objects. A person under deli riutn resembles one talking in his sleep; he is to tally insensible to 'all suriounding objects. The bodily !wall!) is at the saute lime considerably af fected ; great resllessiless, and want of sleep. In insanity, the mind is acting upon some assutned idea, to the truth of which it will pertinaciously ad here, contrary to the strongest evidence of its tahiiy. Die individnal is a to all stirrof,nd:ng ob,jects, • the genera; .he4ith may be little or not nt• all ini.f paired. Taking these. two. points as eXtretip:pol''),:s; derangement will li e soniewhere betwixt them, pa'r taking more or less, of One or the other. The de. rangeinent which is the . obiect of this inqui r y; I consider partaking of dell'ttuar i but never partaking of insanity. From which of the different :Species of mental di,- .order that Dr. Willis has de,ciibi?d is recovery most probable ?—Frorn that speetes of de:angement which partakes most of delitturn, provided the patient sur vives the bodily - disease. Dr. Willis having nude thiS division- in his owii mind, the Commi; tee wish to understand, whethet he considers that these three s;,ecies all differ trona each other in kind or in degree ? The three are per'ectly distill& in themselVes p. they may occasional! run one into the other. De'. rangemenr, for example, may become compLte de !Mum. Delirium may pass through derangement in its progress to revery, thong') nor - necessarily. According to this di-tribution of the subje6t, by What . • term does Dr. Willis describe that 'general cIaSS of of disorder, of which these are species '?-1 never have sufficiently considered this subjeti with a view to clasSitication, and am nut prepared to give a de cisive answer to the question. Do not ail these three species fill under the gene ral and popular designation 61 insithity ?—1 believe, , in the general acceptation of the term, delirium wonld be exempt: Perhaps the other may nut have been sufficiently distinguished. Could Dr. Willis give any precke.d , finition of delirium ?—Your Lordships Will see ti.e extrenic difficulty of giving a &fitutio:i utepremcdi\ated. . I cannot venture to do it. h there any distinction between delirium gene. rally, dependent upon fever, .when it has arisen to a great height, and delirium not dependent open such, a degree of fever.?—ii's far as the symptoms can he perceived, they arc precisely the same. Having doe regard to all the circumstances to which your attention has been called in the course of this day's exatni►iation, and especially to all such circumstances (as far as you, ale acquainted with them) which relate to his Majesty's time of life, and the state of his bodily health, his present andiormer disarders which v bt-en mentioj ed. in this exa mination, the nature and number ot those. disor ders, the symptoms, paroxysms, and remissions which have occurred in the course of them respec l . tively, and thecomparative progress made in them respectively towards recovery ; you are' desired to state whether a due regard to any or all of such cir cumstances does or not diminish the confidence which you expressed in the beginning of your exa mination, that his Majesty will ultimately recover with a full capability of transacting' all busmess My confidence that his Majesty will ultimately re co►er so as to transaa all ,public business is not di minished; but this opinion must be subject to the uncertainty winch alends all medical prognostics. Bow-sTamr.--Jamer Edward lkynne was charg ed with having committed a rape on - Sarah Howe. It appeared that ti.e prosecuirix arrived in town on Wednesday last from Giunitoid, nrar etarz-, in Staf fordshire, on her way to Hendon, to visit an (mete and aunt who reside here - . Oa Thursd ty she set out in the Hendon coach, front. Mr. Kiton's, a dealer, in elder wine, in Broad -street, fit. PieVious to her departure, she told Mr, Eaton the object of her visit, who said, as it would be late when she got to Hendon, if she experienced any difficulty in find ing her relations there, she might 11 , ve a bed at his house at that place. On her arrival there, the coachman and the prisoner, the latter of whom is Mr. Eaton's son-in-law, went to inquire -for -her uncle and aunt, and on their return reported that no such persons were to be found. She accordingly ac cepted a bid at Mr. Eaton's, andiwas put into a room without any fastening to the door. In the middle of the night, she was awoke, by the prisoner, whom she found in bed with her. Atier struggling with him for about an hour, he dragged her to his own bed in an adjoining room, where he effected his pur pose. During the struggle She shouted and called for assistance, -but none came to her. Next mottling she returned to town on the coach, which was driven by the prisoner, and on her arrival she informed Mr. Eaton of what had happened to her.--The pri soner was committed for further examination. Ladies were never known to agree so generally in one opinion, that the most useful and only nouvelle invention, deserving their acceptance at this season of the year, is a small Packet of the much admired i new Patent Needles, which from the late wonderful discovery in forming the eyes to prevent their cut ting the thread, and their other superior excellencies over all other needles, they have now become a most essential acquisition to all great workers, and need only be once tried to be approved, when they will be lound by far to excel every article of the kind ever produced'in this country ; but it is ne cessary to observe, that since the ineroduttion of these superior Needles there are many faint imita tions of this article sold in many parts-of Tuwn, but the only oriF-i nal ones are to be found at the Patentee's, PALmEIi, Cutler to his Majesty, No. 20, St. James's street.
